Brigid Couch Gymnast McCarthy:
Well, I am an Oleg x 2 devotee, but I gotta give it to Belyavskiy, whom I also love, that was a great meet for him and a delight for the home crowd. Love his floor work so much. This is a very, very nice podium, really.
Examiner – 2013 Euros notes: Men’s AA final
Belyavskiy – Tsuk double pike went 15.4. Whitlock put a knee down on Shewfelt scoring 14.433. That cost him the AA.
Congratulations to Vanessa Zamarripa – 2013 AAI Award winner as the nation’s top senior gymnast!
… announced at the NCAA Championships banquet on Thursday evening.
Zamarripa is the fourth Bruin to win the AAI Award and the first since Jamie Dantzscher in 2004. Other UCLA winners were Mohini Bhardwaj in 2001 and Donna Kemp in 1984.
I’m not sure we want to know where this is going. 🙂
Once again I’ll underestimate Alabama, call for Florida or Oklahoma to win for the first time.

results and commentary on IG
RRG – Russia prevails, against the odds:
… I am left with an uncomfortable feeling about the Russians. After all the talk, all the rearrangement of coaching, and the appointment of new specialists like beam coach Marina Bulashenko, you would expect them to look better prepared for this competition, the first home European Championships for Russia since 1998. …
